5 Basketball night

Ansh reached there with basketball in his hand. Thumping it furiously, he started to practice his moves in the middle of the night. Good thing was, that the hostel wardens didn't disturbed the students too much.

He was busy in practicing his moves, when suddenly his ball got snatched. That faint fruity smell, " Shivi.."

Ansh turned around and it was as anticipiated, Shivi.

"You got moves, damn its good. Atleast I got a company!"

"What are you doing here, so late?", Ansh sterned his voice.

Shivi looked around as if trying to recognize him, and gave him a long stare, and said," Your voice...."

Ansh came near her, "....seductive."

Shivi gave him a look as if her secret was out, "....too close, get back", she tried to cover up.

'I kissed her and now I am too close!', angrily Ansh snatched his ball away. "Why are you here?", he asked.

"None of your buissness!! just that lets play"

"...not with you!" and Ansh started to go.

Shivi came in way, anger looked absolutaly flawless in her eyes," You don't know how to behave. If you are not afraid, then let's play a match, half court, five baskets, lets see if your arrogance has some class or just in the air."

Ansh himself didn't wanted to leave and actually he was quite happy that she wasn't here to meet Manu, but angry too, on the way she remarked his anger(which was right) as his arrogance.

He threw the ball to shivi," Ladies first..."

Ansh took her challenge lightly, as she was a very lazy person, not agile and fitness and stamina just remained miles away from her. But when the game started, Shivi was surprisingly flexible, actually she was good. They played and played, the game was not getting over, five baskets were getting difficult to achieve, as Ansh was not making any efforts to basket nor letting her do any. But at last, Shivi finally succeeded in making her first basket. "Basket...." she exclaimed like a child.

Ansh saw the same innocence in her expressions for which he had fallen in the first place.

The game continued for a while, when suddenly, Shivi sat down on her knees.

"Ahhhh!"

Ansh immediatly reached her, "....what happened, Shivi????"

"Damn !!! my head."

Shivi, caught hold of Ansh's shoulder from one hand while other on ground," I will avenge for all the pains I am enduring " she said in a faint voice.

And then her pain started receeding.

Ansh now was sure that something is not right.

As soon as Shivi stood up again, Ansh asked," What was that?"

"It's... it's just...", Shivi then looked at him, there was pain, anger, helplesness in her eyes, she still cleared her voice and said,"...leave, You play well", she tried to hurry.

Ansh became quite angry this time,

".....Why do you need to keep a mystery always! look I am involved now, and if you don't tell me, then I will tell everyone, choice is yours."

"Blackmailing me, then tell everyone, I wanna see your face when you tell everyone, what they already know.", shivi snickered.

Within a moment, Ansh grabbed her waist, and litrelly dragged her away from the court, into the darkness and kissed her as passionatly as he could, with all his heart. Beyond those locked lips, it was just a faint mumbling from Shivi's side,"Mmmm...",

Ansh vented all his passion, desires, anger and everything in that one kiss, which he did after 2 years. Still after this, he didn't let go of Shivi's waist, and was holding firmly, basically to stop her from running.

Well of coarse, he got a slap, which wasn't actually a slap," What the hell !!", Shivi exclaimed angrily.

"This is what I would tell everyone, the thing that no one knows right now." Ansh said in a very normal tone.

"So you are telling me that, if I don't tell you my secrets, my injuries, you would molest me and tell everyone, and I would comply fearing embarrasement."

Ansh got angry over the word 'molest', 'like she was my girlfriend, we had kissed so many times, and now its molesting', he thought.

Tightening his grip again on shivi's waist he said," Molest.....it was you who asked me to stay, to play this so called five basket game, I was leaving but you came in way. It is you who always wants my attention, even when I am thinking about something. Do you consider me a moron!!!! ohh no you consider me a molestor right?"

"....You just sound familiar to me.....", and Shivi started crying.

Okay now!!!! Ansh had actually no idea about what to do when a girl is crying in his arms, especially because of him!!! So he basically, got speechless thinking what to do next, with a crying girl.

"....your voice haunts me in my dreams, I get this dream of my phone ringing with this bloody three digits of 889 on the screen, and next your voice saying 'I love you', since the accident, I had recovered almost all my lost memory, I just had focus on the faces and then I just remember the whole scenario. My memory of just last three years got misplaced it would return in due coarse of time, slight demnetia, even the doctor said that just one or at most two maybe missing from my memories. When I heard your voice, that day only I searched you on social accounts but you are just a stranger, still so familiar..... and the way you look at me as if I wronged you in the worst way possible..... the way you ignore me as if I had cheated you, but the fact is I have not even met you."

Ansh was now devastated, he just couln't believe that she is so troubled, how silly was of him that he didn't even tried to contact her infact blocked her, 'damn!!and she is still blocked'

His voice was filled with guilt, "What accident?"

"I am a troublemaker, you get it!!! Stay away from me, if you don't want to get into any trouble or get killed... the one who caused me all this would repay, but this is what you just should know. And now, you stay away from me, I am sure that you must be some one I must be trying to forget, and now I have forgotten for good. So now I would not put in any efforts to recognize you and of coarse NOT COME IN YOUR WAY. Now leave me"

Shivi struggled through the grip, but his might was something she couldn't get away with.

"You didn't answered my question, what accident?", Ansh asked.

.

"Who's there?????" , a voice came from distance.

"Ohh!!! damn, gaurds", shivi said.

"This way", Ansh said.

And holding her hand firmly, and slipped away easily, as guard was himself not sure of anyone's presence, BUT, he locked the basketball court, "...careless kids, don't even turn off the lights, don't even put the balls in place...."

And now they got locked, in the basketball court, with breezes coming inside through the window.

Shivi got worried, while Ansh got very happy. As to now he would get Shivi back, only if she gives in truly.....
